Too big

When I went to hospital (that is: the 19th of November) this jacket was finished except for button holes and buttons. It's from a nice thick wool and has soutache braid for decoration. Tpday I finally felt "all here" enough to make button holes by hand and after one trial button hole on a scrap of the fabric I made the button hole son the jacket.
And what happened? it is too big! So tomorrow I will start ripping up the lining at the bottom and pinning it in all three back seams. Hopefully I can take it in without messing with the shoulder pads.



The skirt is borrowed from my friend Anna, while my abdomen heals. It's from a heavy, high quality knit and also a bit too large for me, so it works perfectly now.
